Answer:

A. Identify the need, recognize limitations of current toothpaste containers, and then brainstorm ideas on how to improve the existing

Explanation:

To design an improved toothpaste container, we must identify the needs of the customer, one of the major need is to make the container attractive to the sight. This is the first thing that will prompt a customer to wanting to buy the product (The reflectance/appearance).

Then recognize the limitation of the current design, what needed change. This will help in determining what is needed to be included and what should be removed based on identified customers need.

The last step is to brainstorm ideas on how to improve the existing designs. Get ideas from other colleagues because there is a saying that two heads are better than one. This will help in coming to a reasonable conclusion on the new design after taking careful consideration of people's opinion.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Correct option: B. 90%

Explanation:

The confidence interval is given by:

$CI = [\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} , \bar{x}+z\sigma_{\bar{x}} ]$

If $\bar{x}$ is 190, we can find the value of $z\sigma_{\bar{x}}$ :

$\bar{x} - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 188.29$

$190 - z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 188.29$

$z\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1.71$

Now we need to find the value of $\sigma_{\bar{x}}$ :

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = s / \sqrt{n}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 5/ \sqrt{25}$

$\sigma_{\bar{x}} = 1$

So the value of z is 1.71.

Looking at the z-table, the z value that gives a z-score of 1.71 is 0.0436

This value will occur in both sides of the normal curve, so the confidence level is:

$CI = 1 - 2*0.0436 = 0.9128 = 91.28\%$

The nearest CI in the options is 90%, so the correct option is B.

Air enters a turbine with a stagnation pressure of 900 kPa and a stagnation temperature of 658K, and it is expanded to a stagnat

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

12.332 KW

The positive sign indicates work done by the system ( Turbine )

Explanation:

Stagnation pressure( P1 ) = 900 kPa

Stagnation temperature ( T1 ) = 658K

Expanded stagnation pressure ( P2 ) = 100 kPa

Expansion process is Isentropic, also assume steady state condition

mass flow rate ( m ) = 0.04 kg/s

<u>Calculate the Turbine power </u>

Assuming a steady state condition

( p1 / p2 )^(r-1/r) = ( T1 / T2 )

= (900 / 100)^(1.4-1/1.4) = ( 658 / T2 )

= ( 9 )^0.285 = 658 / T2

∴ T2 = 351.22 K

Finally Turbine Power / power developed can be calculated as

Wt = mCp ( T1 - T2 )

= 0.04 * 1.005 ( 658 - 351.22 )

= 12.332 KW

The positive sign indicates work done by the system ( Turbine )

To 3 significant digits, what is the temperature of water in degrees C, if its pressure is 350 kPa and the quality is 0.01

liq [111]

Answer:

138.9 °C

Explanation:

The datum of quality is saying to us that liquid water is in equilibrium with steam. Saturated water table gives information about this liquid-vapour equilibrium. In figure attached, it can be seen that at 350 kPa of pressure (or 3.5 bar) equilibrium temperature is 138.9 °C

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 12 MPa, and the condenser pressure i

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

$\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW$

Explanation:

The water enters to the pump as saturated liquid and equation is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$w_{in} + h_{in}- h_{out} = 0$

$h_{out} = w_{in}+h_{in}$

$h_{out} = 12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} + 191.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{out} = 203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The boiler heats the water to the state of saturated vapor, whose specific enthalpy is:

$h_{out} = 2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

The rate of heat transfer in the boiler is:

$\dot Q_{in} = \left(150\,\frac{kg}{s}\right)\cdot \left(2685.4\,\frac{kJ}{kg}-203.81\,\frac{kJ}{kg} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,MW}{1000\,kW} \right)$

$\dot Q_{in} = 372.239\,MW$
